LOTR-TW is a Total Conversion for Alexander TW based on The Lord of the Rings trilogy, focused to recreate the epic battles seen in the movies. It has a complete Middle Earth map, fully customised cities like Minas Tirith and Helm's Deep on Battle and Campaign map, a set of Historical Battles where you can play all the major and minor battles that take place in the trilogy, and a quest line for the Free-People's campaign where, if the player succeeds, will take the Ring-Bearer from Hobbiton to the wasteland of Mordor in an attempt to save the world from its doom.

DOWNLOAD 3.0

NSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

1) You need LOTR-TW Open Beta v2.0 already installed (Mod for Alexander TW, expansion of Rome TW).2) Install "LOTRTW_v2.0b_OB" in the main RTW folder where RomeTW-ALX.exe is placed.You do not need to follow the other instructions included in this 2.0 version (shortcut, video intro, etc), the patch 3.0 will do it automatically.3) Install this patch "LOTRTW_PATCH_v2.0_to_v3.0.exe" in the same folder where RomeTW-ALX.exe is placed.It will copy one file into main Data folder, but it will not overwrite any original file.4) A shortcut with the name "Lord of The Rings - Total War" will be created in your Desktop, to launch the mod.You may also use the file "lotr-tw launcher.bat" placed in the main RTW folder. Or to create your own shortcut.

if you add a second shortcut for alexander into the actual steam library with the "Add non-steam game" option, and set the target as the same as the desktop shortcut for the mod (i.e. adding the "MODPATH" or whatever is in there) it should work... ive had the same issue when playing Norman Invasion for BI

if you don´t want to use steam. look in gwarez.cc there are many games to download for FREE, and rome alexander too. maybe you have problems because all good hosters disappeared and only worse one are left. but with a premium account(not free :-( ) or enough time spent on downloading you can get it there.

also for only few dollars you can buy rome total war and/or alexander in amazone or any other market in the internet, WITHOUT steam. i bought rome total war 5 years ago for 15 euro in a lokal market, but alexander i later downloaded from gwarez.

Started a Gondor Campaign and successfully defended Osgiliath and sent an Army towards Minas Morgul. I was attacked by the Witch King with an Army and he is far too powerful now! I killed all of his Army, unloaded every arrow (flaming) from 5 squats of Gondor Archers and Faramir and they didn't kill him. I sent every troop to attack him and he killed almost every troop, A full Army!! At the end a squad of Fountain Guards took him out, but this needs balancing big time, having one General who can take out a whole army is just stupid.

1) CTD at the start of a new campaign, just when the campaign map appears. Caused by a corrupted "advice" file.
It is fixed by removing these two files:
...\alexander\lotrtw\data\world\maps\ campaign\Alexander\map.rwm
...\alexander\lotrtw\ preferences\advice
(don't worry, the game will generate a new one)
